Quote: Saddened! " no club in SL takes the numbers we do.'"
If you think your home attendances are the biggest in the league, you are wrong.
If you are saying you have the biggest away following, it will dwindle once you start losing games and are not picking up silverware. The 'glory supporters' will disappear into the woodwork again. Ask any club that has had a run of successful seasons.
It's also worth pointing out that St Helens is a one sport/one team town. With nothing much else to do there.
The support is admirable in size, but everything is stacked in favour of big support.
